The folks at Professional Soldiers<\/a> send us a forgery of a DD214 from Sergeant Major Ron A. Spearman <\/a>of Copperas Cove, Texas, just outside the Fort Hood gate. Most notable on this forgery is his 3rd award of the Combat Infantryman Badge – the siren’s song of the phonies. According to the document, Sergeant Major Spearman was born in 1961. In order for him to have 3 awards of the CIB, he would have had to serve in the Korean War or World War II, a decade or two before he was born.<\/p>\n

It also says that he was discharged from the 7th Special Forces group at Fort Hood, TX, except that the 7th Group has never been at Fort Hood. There is no such MOS as 18BZ40P. In the award section (block 13), there are no “2 silver clusters”, sounds like peanut clusters. It would be 3rd Award. Jungle Warfare Training (actually JOTC – Jungle Operations Training Center), doesn’t go on your DD214 – it’s not a DoD recognized school. I’ve been twice, and there’s no mention on my DD214, but I can show you two certificates of completion.<\/p>\n

The truth is somewhat different – he was an artilleryman for more than 13 years, with three years in the Guard or Reserves. He deployed to Desert Storm with me in 1991 from Garlstedt, Germany as part of our organic artillery.<\/p>\n

Spearman planned to tell lies when he got out of the Army because he also penciled in this entry on his 2-1, because the Army doesn’t keep track of how many people you killed, especially as an artilleryman;<\/p>\n

\"Ron<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

So, to sum up, no sergeant major, no Purple Hearts, no peanut clusters, no Bronze Stars (except for the bronze service stars on his Southwest Asia Service Medal, denoting service in Operations Desert Shield, Desert Storm and Provide Comfort) no Legion of Merit and not even one CIB, let alone three.<\/p>\n

Another perfectly good career ruined by lies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
